A female supporting character who travels through time and has a spatial ability becomes the darling

On the 23rd, sticky candy is served; on the 24th, sweep the house.

Every day before the Lunar New Year has a specific task.

Fortunately, Yun Shu's house wasn't big, and it wasn't usually very messy, so cleaning was quick. She took down the mosquito net and other things, threw them into the washing machine in the villa for a quick wash, and then took them out and gave them a symbolic scrub in a basin. It saved her a lot of effort.

Then wipe the dish rack, wardrobe, and storage cabinet, sweep the floor, and wash the clothes, and you're done.

On the 25th, Yun Shu and her group went to the team's mill, then lined up to exchange soybeans for several pieces of tofu. After returning home, they cut the tofu into evenly sized pieces and froze them outside.

Frozen tofu stewed with sauerkraut is the best. The tofu, soaked in the broth, is even more fragrant than meat. You can put a couple of pieces in almost any stew with some broth, so Yunshu prepared more this year.

……

I was supposed to go to the county town to buy meat on the 26th, but actually Yunshu already has plenty of meat in reserve. Besides, today is the day the brigade slaughters the New Year's pig, and the pork will be distributed according to work points, so I don't need to buy it myself.

This year has been a bumper year for Fengsheng Brigade, not only in terms of grain, but also in many other aspects, including the collectively raised pigs.

Aside from those handed over to the authorities, the team leader didn't sell a single pig this year. After a meeting with the team members, he decided to slaughter all ten or so pigs and divide the meat among them.

The team members had originally planned to slaughter the pig, sell it, and then divide the money among themselves. However, after listening to the team leader's analysis, they realized that the money they earned would have to be used to sell pork and buy New Year's goods. They figured it would be better to just put the meat in their own pockets. At least they knew that the pig was one they had raised themselves, so the quality of the meat was definitely top-notch.

And so the matter was settled amicably.

Slaughtering a pig for the New Year is a large-scale event, especially when so many pigs are slaughtered together. The level of bloodshed is... Xie Yicheng didn't let her see it.

Of course, it wasn't just Yun Shu; a group of female educated youth and unmarried girls in the team were also kept outside. All they could hear were the pigs' cries and the only butcher in the brigade shouting and directing the others.

It took almost two hours to finally slaughter the pig and drain all its blood.

Everyone agreed to use the fresh pig's blood to make blood sausage, and at this point, the women who had been waiting nearby began to get to work.

Chop ingredients, wash sausage casings, boil water...

Yun Shu and Jing Shu stood hand in hand, staring dumbfounded at the busy women, like two country bumpkins who had never seen the world before. After all, they had never personally experienced such a scene in either of their lives.

Although I was also from a rural area in my previous life, I was too young then and have no memory of it.

Du Yujiao, who was standing to the side, was quite bold and dared to go closer to take a look with Xie Cuicui, just because Chen Ming said he liked to eat blood sausage.

However, they weren't skilled at making blood sausage. Yun Shu and Jing Shu were able to boil water and use the blood from about ten large, fat pigs to make blood sausage, which would take a long time.

……

While they were busy here, things were also in turmoil there. The butcher was cleaning so many pigs all by himself, and even in the dead of winter, he was shirtless and steaming from head to toe. While butchering the pork, he was also scolding his son, a teenager who couldn't help at all, and the boy's face turned red from the scolding.

But even the brigade leader didn't dare to step in and mediate, because at that time the butcher held a supreme position. As long as he didn't insult the instructor, he could do whatever he wanted.

Sometimes the battalion commander would get a few scoldings for not helping properly, but he would just stay quiet and obedient.

With the captain acting like this, no one else dared to cross the line, making this entire day the butcher's moment of glory.

Regardless of what tomorrow brings, he is the most authoritative figure today.

Working from dawn till dusk, all the pigs were 'dismembered'. The butcher lived up to his reputation, separating the fat and lean meat with exceptional cleanliness and efficiency.

The team members couldn't wait until tomorrow to distribute the meat. They lined up and stared intently at the team leader. Fortunately, the team leader understood their feelings. These were the only few days of the year when the whole family could enjoy meat together. On ordinary days, everyone tightened their belts and saved the best food for the children.

Therefore, the captain, who was exhausted but still full of energy after a long day, just laughed and scolded him a few times for being useless, and then arranged for people to start distributing the meat.

……

In this era, the best pork was fatty meat because it could be used to make fat. The worst cuts of meat were ribs and trotters because the bones were heavier than the meat.

So, seeing the people in front of them taking away all the fatty meat, Yun Shu and Jing Shu weren't in a hurry at all. Ribs with little meat and lots of bones were exactly what Yun Shu liked best, while chewy pig ears and trotters were Jing Shu's favorites. Xie Yi Cheng wanted to give Yun Shu some fatty meat, but she didn't want it.

So even though there was still some fat left when it was their turn, and the person distributing the meat was an older woman from the brigade headquarters who was familiar with Yun Shu, Yun Shu still didn't accept her kindness. Instead, she used her work points to exchange for more ribs and some pig lungs.

Thinking about the flavors of stir-fried pork lungs with chili peppers, sweet and sour pork ribs, and pork ribs stewed with green beans, Yun Shu's eyes sparkled. Her older sister, utterly bewildered as to why this young educated youth, Xie, liked these meatless dishes so much, persisted in asking her question.

"You really don't want this piece of fatty meat, Xie Zhiqing? It's so greasy! You could even use it to make dumplings! What's so special about these ribs? Half of them are bones!"

The eldest sister is a good eldest sister, and Yunshu is a stubborn girl.

Despite her elder sister's advice, Yun Shu remained steadfast. She instructed Xie Yicheng to put her ribs in a basin, while she herself took a small basin and put the pig lungs in it. Then, with a bright smile, she comforted her elder sister.

"It's alright, ma'am, I love eating ribs! I can't eat this fatty meat, it would be a waste to give it to me."

"This kid, there are still people who can't afford meat these days! You're talking nonsense!"

The eldest sister was speechless at Yun Shu's words, but she didn't insist anymore. Especially when she saw that Xie Yicheng next to her was also silent, completely letting Yun Shu make the decisions, she immediately felt that she had overthought things.

Xiao Xie, the educated youth, is different from them. She's capable herself, and the partner she found is also capable. Since Xiao Cheng went to work in the city, she's never lacked anything good for Xiao Xie, such as nice clothes and all sorts of rare things that they've never seen before. She doesn't need to worry about that.

"Fine, you young people think differently from us. Do as you please."

After the older sister got over this, she felt much better. How others live their lives is their business, and it's none of our business. If you say too much, people will think you're there to cause trouble.

Of course, Yun Shu didn't think that way. Looking at the eldest sister with a high favorability rating on the character panel, Yun Shu smiled even more sincerely.

"Don't worry, Sister Guilan, I know you're doing this for my own good, and I understand what you're doing."
